Manafort. The defense is going to go on offense to attack gates credibility. All of that is part of the drama today. The nuts and bolts of this case are still in the numbers, in the tax fraud, bank fraud, alleged deals for these clients allied with the putin regime. Now, Paul Manafort faces 18 fraud charges from a time before he ever joined the trump campaign. This was all the ukrainian consulting work, which means theres a ton of paper and prosecutors are arguing to this jury whatever happens with mr. Gates, the paper doesnt lie. For example, also new, we can tell you, they showed an email today that manafort sent to gates with gates testifying that trumps former Campaign Chair wrote this is a disaster in april 2015 in that email, about a higher than expected tax bill, throwing in a wtf as well. The full quote is he told the jury hes not happy, i just saw this, wtf, how could i be blind

booker and beto o rourke. their 15-year-old granddaughter falls asleep watching beto o rourke giving speeches. it s going to be a matter of same. can any of these candidates who are on fire right now sustain, remain the front-runner for a full 12 months. how do all these senate candidates, a similar donor base, sustain that. can anyone win iowa with under $20 million? maybe someone riding a crest of excitement right now. but i also heard surprisingly from several democratic activists who i spoke to in the last week or so. amy klobuchar is somebody they re interested in. she s been viewed as almost one of iowa s senators because she spent so much time in iowa and does so much for the democratic base there. experienced, a former prosecutor. they really like her. those are the names the hot dish connection. and an easy drive from msp and her hometown just down across the state border. iowa is so fascinating because
than love. that s because it is. donald trump is riding a crest of voter anger over 30 years of failed policies. voter anger explains the entire rise of trump. how much, dylan, did roger stone have to how much had he had to do to take advantage of voter anger. roger and manafort and stone in the 80s with the first wave of super pacs revolutionized the massive campaign. roger kept it going through the trump campaign. he headed up chants of lock her up, lock her up which has been ironically turned on him with chants of lock him up, lock him up. when he came out of court, those were the chants going on. pau paul manafort makes it into the
